Ageing?
Ive looked at this ring and can honestly say it built to last.
Everything is on a substantial scale. The angled corners holding the central stone is just one thing that stands out.
Good, now to ageing, a story, It was some 25 yrs ago at a local show someone bought one of my “Dark ages” cuff bracelets.
This is fire oxidised a lovely autumn brown on polished stainless 316 stainless. Its assembled by TIG under argon, I know dark ages and TIG is a contradiction in time, I spotted it at a flea market last year on a s/hand jewellery stall, and as you will know you always know your own work, I bought it back for a fraction of what I sold it for, and it was as good as when I made it. It bore my registerd goldsmiths mark and the year 1993 mark.
So to continue, Ive just started a 9 month programm to remake 20 off everything ive ever made over the past 50 yrs for a major retrospective expo here at my home, workshops and display unit. Its to run for 2 weeks through the last week in June to the 1st week in July next year, the lord willing.
Anyone visiting the UK from Ganoksin is welcome to come and see what 50 yrs work has all been about .
Ted.
